Anonymous has left a comment:

hi trish! i'm curious to find out what you think is THE perfect outfit for winter..since it feels like winter already!! gahhh..such as fur coats/ vest looks, looks with cute scarfs..parka jackets... leather jacket looks... or what you think is stylish for winter..? =) 

Hello there, thanks for asking~.. I hope you find this post helpful~ :)

because this was tough! there are millions of examples out there,

and not enough time to sort them all..

(for more - a lot of my "favorite" looks are in my archives from last winter's posts)

I think it is difficult to balance style and warmth, especially with comfort.

I confess, I purchased two pairs of new uggs last winter.. nyc is freeezinggg!!

starting an entire new winter wardrobe can get expensive.

I suggest investing in just one or two of the following,

and it can instantly update your existing wardrobe:

fur jacket - the longer, the warmer, and forget grandma's brown mink~

it's amazing all the different techniques and colors they have out there.

the fur vest - wear it under for warmth, or over for added softness.

peta friendly?? try a coat with an interesting silhouette

leather jacket - unlike fall, wear the winter friendly one loose - to fit warm layers.

the cropped jacket makes the look less frumpy.

tip: sunnies protect your eyes from snow glare, with a touch of automatic cool.

killer (warm) boots - usually your shoes are the number one priority in your outfit.

it can make or break your look.

tip: boots chop your legs - so pair them with a shorter coat to elongate them.

accessorize with jewelry outside to vamp up your more staple pieces

hats are practical, and the right one can be a major fashion statement.

a good belt swings your look sweet, or powerful, and it is definitely useful.

you don't want your waist to get lost in all the layers!

a set of sexy gloves don't hurt either~

hey, why not pair a printed scarf with a fur scarf.

double the fun + double the warmth

parkas keep your head warm,

but don't forget, your pants will still show quite a bit.

forget the "go-to black pair of leggings" from time to time.

if it's on you, it's an accessory. yes, even your umbrella. details details~

 tip: carry bags that are proportional to your outfit.

as for THE perfect outfit? I'm not going to go there.. it's what works on you.

there are as many perfect outfits as there are people.

well, almost.
